Rodolfo's victory received little applause from the audience. Brice tells Virgílio that he has little time to stop Amália from recovering her memory. Cássio is injured in the dispute and Afonso decides to replace him as Montemor's representative. Virgílio changes the protection of Afonso's spear to harm him. Amália recovers her memory and screams Afonso's name, just as he starts to fight.
